The people were really friendly and professional and the pilot was very entertaining! Really wonderful views of New York at night, you get to see all the main attractions!

This was an AMAZING, very very well arranged trip. If you're thinking about a helicopter tour over NYC I highly recommend this one.
One day before your flight there is someone via email or phone helping you with the train to Linden New Jersey and if you're interested in a limousine service from Linden to the airport. You will get a recommendation for the train you need to take to be in time. Once you've arrived at Linden a limousine service will take care of you. They even called me to make sure you are on time and found your driver.
The flight took 28 minutes and was underlined by lounge music which I totally loved. You're able to see every sight of the big apple. Totally amazing! I've done other helicopter flights over NY and this was definitely the best!

Overall it was a wonderful experience and the staff was very accommodating. The flight was beautiful and worth the short drive to Jersey to get the night flights we can't get in NY. It was easy to find. Parking was a breeze. The pilot was knowledgeable and friendly. I just wish they offered slightly longer flights and that we could have gotten a bit closer to the bridges. I would definitely recommend!
